Ray is a true legend in the Bulkley Valley and all the staff and guides at Frontier Farwest revere his accomplishments over his 40 year career guiding on the Morice River. Ever since Ray started fishing on the Morice, he preached catch and release fly fishing for steelhead.

He was a pioneer and a man far beyond his years. His passion for fly tying has made him very well known as he is the creator of many famous patterns. Ray is an expert in the art of taking steelhead on dry flies. He has probably tailed more steelhead caught on dries than anyone else in the world.

It can be the coldest, windiest, wettest winter day, and Joel will come rowing down the river with a grin on his face. Oh ya, he's a true steelhead junkie.
